I once worked in an office with fake windows---just some blinds hung over a small recess in the wall.

When our team first arrived in the office, a colleague walked over to them and said something along the lines of `let's get some sunlight in here' before opening them to reveal the deception.

Previous employer I was given the choice of been in the main open office or taking over an old out of the way (huge) meeting room that had no windows to myself.

Boss simply couldn't understand that someone would choose to sit in a quiet, miles away from anyone else on site, air conditioned office even without windows.

Honestly, never bothered me, lots of plants and replacing the strip lights with 5000K bright LED's for the overheads and some LED lamps dotted around it was only the same as working at night at home.

Hands down the best physical work environment I've had outside of work from home.

I joked at the time I'd program in a cave if it had good internet and was quiet.
